Uninstalling Google Chrome on Android. How to disable background work and notifications in the Google Chrome browser How to disable recommended content in Chrome

Google Chrome » Useful tips » How to remove recommended articles

If you have an Android operating system, then you probably noticed a new browser option. When you visit websites or enter search queries, you are transmitting data about your interests to the system. As a result, the browser begins to display various news and articles in a separate browser tab. Most users did not like this feature.

The solution is disconnection.

1. In the address bar, open 2 addresses:

chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites

chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets

2. Disable all these experiments there.

3. Be sure to close your browser or restart your smartphone.

The note

At the time of publication of this material, recommended articles are only an innovation. They can be disabled for now. We don't know what will happen next. That is, we do not guarantee that this method of solving the problem will always work. Maybe in general the developers will allow you to disable everything unnecessary in the settings.

There are people who like Google+, and there are those who are annoyed by this service, and if you are registered there but do not use it, then you may receive unwanted notifications.

If you want to turn off notifications from Google+, then I have good news: turning off all Google+ notifications is actually a very easy task. And if you don't want to turn them off, you can control all notifications. That's the point.

First, there are a few different ways to manage Google+ alerts: on the website and in the app. Each method is slightly different from the others, so we will describe each of them. Let's start with the website.

Manage Google+ notifications on your website

Firstly, go to Google+ website. Here, click on the Settings button in the left navigation bar. If the panel is not visible, you need to click on the three bars in the top left corner to show the sidebar.

There are a few different notification options in this menu, but we'll start at the top. The first option in this menu is “Who can send you alerts.” There are several options (the default is “Advanced Circles”), so you can choose what works best for you. If you plan to completely disable notifications, then you do not need to configure anything here - we will do this below.

Scroll down until you see the Alerts section. Here you can completely turn off Google+ notifications. Simply set the toggles to "Disabled" on any notification option you want to disable. Easy and fast.

But here's the thing: these are just general settings. If you need more fine-grained settings, then click on the arrow next to each subsection (posts, people, photos, etc.) to deeply customize notifications.

Disable the options that you consider unnecessary and you're done.

Manage Google+ notifications on your Android phone

If you don't like the website option, you can also manage notifications on your phone, but keep in mind that this will only work for email notifications. For other cases, you need to configure it on the website.

Launch the Google+ app on your phone, open the menu, then tap Settings.

Select an account, then Alerts.


If you want to completely turn off notifications, then set the top switch to the “Off” position. Ready.

But again, if you want more detailed settings, then scroll below. There are many options to choose from, and they are all quite simple, so you have to decide what you need and what you don't.


It's also worth noting that these settings sync with your Google account, so anything you change here will change on any other mobile device you use, as well as in the Phone section of your notification settings on the website. It's quite convenient.

Manage Google+ notifications on your iPhone

If you're an iOS user, things are a little different from the Android version; instead of having its own notification controls, the Google+ app literally just redirects to the settings website. Still, it's better than nothing.

Open the Google+ app, open the menu on the left, then click Settings.

Select Alerts.

The app will then open Google+ web settings in the app window, where you can manage email and app notifications.

Similar to the settings we talked about in the first section of this article, you can turn email and mobile phone notifications on or off, or tap each subsection for more detailed settings.

Many services providing push notification services began to appear, many sites began to hang banners on their sites asking them to enable notifications. Everywhere you go there is a request for notifications, something needs to be done about it.

In this example we will use the Chrome browser. The settings are similar in the Yandex browser. You can either unsubscribe from a specific site or block all sites from sending you notifications. This will get rid of a lot of pop-ups that ask you to allow access to alerts.

I've already signed up for alerts

To get rid of notifications from a specific site, right-click on any of its notifications and select “disable notifications from...”

I see on many sites the request "the site is asking for permission to Show alerts"

Let's get rid of them once and for all, you will never see these windows again on sites that harass you. Just follow the instructions below.

Select the Chrome menu -> Settings

Scroll down to "Alerts" and turn the switch to "Do not show notifications on sites"

These settings do not affect notifications in add-ons. That is, if you are using the PushAll add-on, this setting will not affect it, you can also set up exceptions to the rules for certain sites.

If you don't like the browser notifications from sites, you can change your mind about them by looking at the channel catalog on our website

Our approach to notifications focuses on user convenience. You can filter alerts based on your interests, receive notifications about the release of articles you are interested in or voice-overs of your favorite TV series.

Unnecessary utilities on your smartphone could not only be installed manually, but they could also already be present at the time of purchase, installed during the factory assembly. Google Chrome is not a system file, so uninstalling it should not be difficult.

To uninstall, go to your device's settings, find the "Settings" section, select and click on "Applications". With a hand gesture to the side (by swiping left or right across the display of your gadget), find “Building”. In the specified section, you should find the list space that occupies. In our case it could be a browser.

Click on the desired utility icon as soon as you find it.

  • First, stop your browser.
  • Secondly, by clicking on the corresponding icon, erase the data and clear the cache.

After Google Chrome is erased from your device, garbage may remain in the system in the form of unnecessary folders and files that will take up space and load the smartphone system. Completely erase it by clicking on “Delete” and confirm the selected action.

Uninstall using the Play Market application

The second method of removing interfering installations from your smartphone is uninstallation using the Play Store. This is an online store, a service from Google, from which you can download add-ons and games for your device.

To remove using this method, open the Play Store and follow these steps:

As a rule, this method works on any version of Android. However, you should remember that you can also remove any programs, extensions or add-ons using various utilities that have special functions and are designed for this: freezing processes, making backup copies, etc. It is not necessary to clean your smartphone of programs that clog it yourself, although this is a guarantee of complete cleaning of unnecessary utilities.

System applications on the Android platform

Each Android device is purchased with certain system programs. They are usually standard. However, not every utility already installed on a smartphone will be necessary for future use. Every phone has software that consists of various installed files.

Some of them are strictly not recommended to be touched, but there are those that take up a lot of memory space, load the system, which is why the smartphone’s operation ceases to be stable and its performance drops - they are worth removing, and for this it would not even be a shame to reflash the flagship.

It is not necessary to remove programs you do not need; stopping them will suffice. To do this, go to your phone's settings, just as you would when deleting non-system apps on Android. By opening the corresponding section and selecting the icon, stop its operation.

To get rid of unnecessary system applications, use special uninstallation modules.

However, remember that deleting system files can harm your device and destabilize its operation.

If this happens and the operation of the smartphone is disrupted (it turns off and does not turn on or works very slowly, without folders, without working parts of the screen), it should be immediately taken to a workshop, where the technician will restore its performance to the previous level.

Friends, you have all seen pop-up windows with a bell on various websites asking you to subscribe to display notifications (alerts). Until recently, a similar option was available on my website. Why did I refuse it and I advise you to do it as soon as possible -.

A person does not need to go to the site to see what’s new - he immediately receives notifications about new interesting publications in his browser. I myself subscribe to push notifications from various resources and find this opportunity very convenient.


However, if you actively surf the Internet, then constantly pop-up windows in your browser become too intrusive and begin to irritate. Agree, it’s very annoying to press the “Block” button every time.

Not many people know that, for example, in Google Chrome (both for Windows and Android) it is possible to get rid of annoying offers from all resources once and for all. Windows with requests to receive notifications will never appear again, but at any time you can independently subscribe on any site. Agree, this is very convenient!

Disable in Chrome for Windows

Copy the following link into the Chrome address bar and press enter:

chrome://settings/content/notifications

On the page that opens, to the right of the text “Ask permission before sending (recommended)” there will be a slider that must be moved from the far right position (in which it is by default) to the far left:

Disable in Chrome on Android

In the upper right corner of the browser, click on the icon with three vertical dots and select “Settings”:

That's all :) In one fell swoop, you solved the problem of annoying pop-up windows with requests.

If you, while on a site, decide to subscribe to its push notifications, then you need to do the following... In the address bar to the left of the site URL, click on the lock icon (if the resource operates over the HTTPS protocol) or the letter i in a circle (if site on HTTP) and select the appropriate option in the pop-up menu:
